Application filed December 29, 1917. Serial No. 209,481.

To whom it may-concern:

Be it known that I, BERNARD H. KARMEN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident .of'the city of New York, borough of Manis to provide amachine-made powder puff in which the sewing of the facing material to the back is dispensed with.

Still another object is to provide a novel gripor finger-hold and means for fastening it in the body of the puff.

With such objects in view, and others which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention comprises various novel features of construction and arrangement of part which will be set forth with particularity in the following description and claims appended hereto.

In the accompanying drawing, which illustrates one embodiment of the invention and wherein similar characters of ref+ 4O Figfl and e ribbon that forms the grip-piece or erence indicate corresponding parts in all the views, 85

Figure 1 IS'a'POISPQCtiVO view of the powder jufi;

Fig. 2 is'an enlarged transverse section;

Fig.v 3 is a }perspective view of the washer or disk on t e back of the body;

4, is a perspective view of the disk handle; and

Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the parts that o to make up the face of the puff.

Re erring to the drawing, 1 designates the pile cloth or face of the powder puff, 2 the a cloth .back, and 3 the finger-piece, handle or The cloth pieces 1 and 2 are cut as disks and they are appl ed around a body which is composed of two telescoping metal sections 4.- and 5, the edges of the cloth pieces 1 and 2 being clamped between the interfitting flanges 6 and 7 of the sections 4 and 5.-

" ThlS assembling is done by special dies which have no pressing or distorting effect as the pile face of the puff. The ring section 5 leaves the middle of the cloth 1 free and yielding.

The handle piece 3 is made by a piece of ribbon 8 as shown in Fig. 4, which is doubled on itself and passed through a celluloid or other washer 9 which has crossing slits 10 at its center so as to form barbs 11 which bite into the ribbon and revent the washer from pulling off, the was er serving to give an attractive finish to the back of the puff. The free ends of the ribbon are passed through the center of the cloth back 2 and pass under the section 4 of the body, and the extremities of the ribbon are glued to the outer surface of the section 4 so as to be held gagperly in place during the assembling.

en the parts of the body are assembled the ends of the ribbon are clamped between the flanges 7 and 8, together with the edges of the cloth pieces 1 and 2, and when thus secured the ribbon cannot be pulled out.

A powder puff constructed in this manner can be easily and quickly made and at a minimum expense and the parts cannot tear out, since they are clamped between interfitting body sections.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, the advantages of the construction and method of operation will be readily understood by those skilled in the art to which the invention appertains, and while I have described the principle of operation, together with the article which I now consider to be the best embodiment thereof, I desire to have it understood that the article shown is merely illustrative and that such changes may be made when desired as fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Let: ters Patent:

1. A powder puff comprising a body composed of two flanged sections having their flanges telescoping, a pile cloth piece stretched over one section, a back cloth piece stretched over the other section, the edges of the cloth pieces entering between the flanges in the same directionand clamped between such flanges, and a handle connected with the said body.

2. A powder p'ufi comprising a body composed of two flanged sections having their flanges telescoping, and a pile cloth piece attached to the body, one section havln a central aperture, a ri hon disposed W117. in
